Spot Cleaning during the nine days

Question:

I only have one pair of pants that i tried on but it got badly stained can i spot clean it or should i wear a pair that wasnt tried on?

Thank you

Answer:

Yes, you can spot clean during the nine days.  If that won't work for you, you can also put a pair of pants on a dirty floor, and stamp on it until it no longer has a fresh feel to it, and then wear it.

Best wishes

  1. IWAS BODEKING BLACKBERRIES and forgot I was wearing my good white summer shirt of which i have only one; if I don't spot clean quickly wont ever be able to get out stains again or wear it--It was expensive and also had had to alter sleeves...but it is now Tuesday before Tisha B'Av Sunday. Can I soak stains in bleach tonight?
